Pipe in streamname Options

[ShadowM]

i've come across a slight problem when i 'advertise' a stream that has a pipe in it's name

-> everything after the pipe is executed within mirc as if it were a command

example :

CODE

[22:57] * ShadowM [Now Playing] Liveshow: Release Your Mind (Release Your Mind
[22:57] �� error � unknown command "STREAM"

The original Stream name: Release Your Mind | Stream Hosted @ X-Hosted.nl


preset 2 is what i use in Amip :

CODE

//describe $active [Now Playing] $if(%4,$if(%1,$if(%2,%1: $trunc(%4,32) - %2,%name),%name),%name) $if($mat(%min%sec,^0+$),[Stream],[%min:%sec])

and in my mirc i use :

CODE

alias mp3 {
  /dde mplug announce preset 2
}

how do i escape the pipe (either in mirc or the preset) ?


As this is a security risk ( if i would host a stream and would add a pipe in the name and put in something like quit after it, i would be bumped off irc when i try to advertise .....just to be silent about other potential commands)

how do i resolve this at best ?

"Replace � | � with � $chr(124) � when sending to mIRC
mIRC uses | character for commands separation, so, it's possible to insert a command in the song tag that will do something bad with your mIRC. For security reasons AMIP can replace it with the $chr mIRC function that mIRC will evaluate to | but will not use it as commands splitter. "

found it .. think i've overlooked it *bangs head on wall* ..

might it be a suggestion to put in on by default ..?
.. just to be on the 'safe' side ?
